A Ghostly Good Time

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

I apologize for going MIA on all of you. Hope to get back on track real soon. My one and only son is getting married and I volunteered to make the bouquets,  boutineers and corsages. And with Halloween right around the corner I needed to get those decorations out and hung up. Made my first mesh wreath for the front door, and if I must say so myself it turned out pretty cool. 

How about we get on with the card I created for Halloween.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

Be Positive

I thank my God at all times for you because of 

the grace (the favor and spiritual blessings) of God

which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus, [so] that

in Him in every respect you were enriched, in full

power and readiness of speech [to speak of your

faith] and complete knowledge and illumination

[to give you full insight into its meaning].

                                                  1 CORINTHIANS 1:4-5

Hope all of you are keeping well and having loads of creative fun. 
I am here today with another creation for PaperTemptress. As I was going through my stamps I then came across this pumpkin stamp and die from Our Daily Bread. I had a pretty good idea how the card was going to be designed. For added decoration I chose a doily die from the Cheery Lynn Designs collection.

All Wrapped Up

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

Don't Waste Time

Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully 

and worthily and accurately, not as the 

unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent

people), making the very most of the time

[buying up each opportunity].

                               EPHESIANS 5:15-16

I have another card to share with all of you. Thought you might like some ideas for your Christmas cards. I have been going back and forth making Halloween cards and Christmas cards. One of these days real soon I will post some pictures of the cards I've been working on. There are far to many to do a write up on all of them.
